[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we rented in Falls Church for a number of years and never had any issues with our huge grassy yard... all we did was mow it every week or two. 
now having had a house in Rockville for 2 years, weeds have totally taken over the grass in our lawn and it looks awful. is this normal?? am i supposed to be putting down weed killers regularly?  [/quote]

Please stop using weed killer. It's a probable carcinogen that increases the risk of lymphoma in children that live in houses where it's used and it's terrible for the environment, including all manner of run off to our water suppliers. Please stop trying to make your grass look perfect. We've actually begun to love the clover that grows in our yard. The rabbits love it and it's a sign of a healthy yard. [/quote]

Can weed killer harm children in houses next door? Does it get into the ground water? [/quote]

Yes, and yes. Why do you think you see those little yellow signs that tell you to keep kids and pets off the lawn after it's been sprayed with pesticides/herbicides? Do you really think it magically disappears after a few days or stops right at your property line?

Here's the link to the study on glyphosate:

Oh, it's horrible for the bees and other pollinators.  Same with anyone who uses Mosquito Joe or the like.[/quote]
